SHURE M97xe Phono Cartridge: Any Good?
Hi All: I decided to breakdown & jump back into the vinyl world. I
currently have about 600 albums & purchased a new NAD 533 TT. It has a Goldring "Electra" cartridge but was damaged upon arrival. NAD will replace this for me, but I thought I would score a new cartridge for the time being. I want to spend no more then $100.00 I always used Shure's in the past & felt pretty good about them. Although, I always had a pretty cheap TT (i.e. JVC & Pioneer) Any insight into the Shure M97xe? I noticed that the Grado line get's some decent raves. Well in any of your vinyl pros can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated! Alex |

The Grado Red is about that price and much better. Also the Rega Bias
is a good cartridge and was actually designed for that table, which is a Rega P2 similar. The Grado has a warmer tone and the Rega is more dynamic, so a listen would be best but if you have to pick blind either will be much nicer than the Shure or the Goldring. -Bill www.uptownaudio.com Roanoke VA (540) 343-1250 "Alex Moore" wrote in message news:AMXEc.8521$7t3.3917@attbi_s51...
